Cool, but where are the specs, the release date? This product announcement doesn't have much information.

What kind of "release" are you talking about? You mean when it hits the shelves of Bass Pro Shops?

When people are able to buy it.

I would expect an online shop like most specialty goods.

For a drone tipped with high explosives?

I gotta know, what kind of online shops do you frequent?

I would expect the explosives to be sold separately. So it's more like buying a drone equipped with jet engines.

and software to intercept air targets via subscription payments I guess?

Yeah, fair. I'm sure a lot of people don't want the OEM explosives and would rather tip it themselves.
